Darwin's Shattered Hopes

However, although evolutionists have been making strenuous efforts to
find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth century all over the world, no
transitional forms have yet been uncovered. All the fossils, contrary to the
evolutionists' expectations, show that life appeared on Earth all of a sudden
and fully-formed.
Renowned British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits this fact, even
though he is an evolutionist:

The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether at
the level of orders or of species, we find – over and over again – not
gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one group at the ex-
pense of another. (Derek V. Ager, "The Nature of the Fossil Record,"
Proceedings of the British Geological Association, vol. 87, 1976, p. 133.)

This means that in the fossil record, all living species suddenly emerge
as fully formed, without any intermediate forms in between. This is just the
opposite of Darwin's assumptions. Furthermore, this is very strong evidence
that all living things are created. The only explanation of a living species

emerging instantaneously and completely in every detail without any evolu-
tionary ancestor is that it was created. This fact is admitted also by the widely-
known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:

Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations
for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA)
developed or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed from
pre-existing species by some process of modification. If they did appear in

a fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by some om-
nipotent intelligence. (Douglas J. Futuyma, Science on Trial, Pantheon
Books, New York, 1983, p. 197)
